If you haul Division 1.1 or 1.2 explosives, what may the floor lining of the cargo area be made of?

Answer options

Why

Iron and steel can strike sparks, so the floor lining under Division 1.1 or 1.2 cargo has to be either a nonmetallic material or a metal with no iron in it. Carbon steel and cast iron are both iron-based, so neither qualifies.
